Poll workers are greatly needed in South Carolina and across the country this election. If you are willing and able to serve as a poll worker, our state needs you. Without enough poll workers, some county polling places will have to close and consolidate, leaving some citizens without easy access to a polling location and leading to longer lines at others.
